Bishop FOwIer's Excellent Stories.
NeU York Sun.


Never say anything against the man
who is to come after you, said Bishop
c. H. Fowler when dismissing a con-
ference. A minister who didn't bear this
in mind was asked by his parishioners
what kind of man his successor was.
80, Brother - is good man,
but
But what2 If there's anything
wrong, that's just what we want to know.
Now tell us what's the matter
well, Brother - is a good man,
but the fact is, brethren, he parts his
hair in the middle
''We won't have him. We don't
want dude. Conference mustn't send
him.
The appointed Sunday arrived, and
with 1t the uuue minister. rs ffc wafK--
ed up the aisle broad grin overspread
the faces in the rear seats. By the
time he reached the pulpit the congre-
cation broke out into roar of laughter.
The minister was bald.
sAnd don't keep telling about your
last appointment, continued the Bishop.
Il knew minister who was always tell
ing how the people treated him at
Brownsville. 1t was Brownsville here
and Brownsville there-everything was
Brownsville. This went on until every
body got thoroughly tired of hearing
of Brownsville. One night good old
lady rose in the weekly prayer-meeting
to give in her testimony. She was
dear. good soul-one of the saints on
earth. She said she had had hard
week. my soul, she said, has been
greatly depressed all week. find my
faith very weak, and my hope is very
dim. l can no longer see my way to
reaching heaven. l may hold out till
I get to Brownsville, but l can't go a
step further
There was no more heard of Browns
vile in that charge after that, said Bish-
op Fowler.

A Dollar Saved is Two Earned.
st. Louis Republican.

A benevolent gentleman, whose office
is near the custom house, sat at his desk
a few days ago when he was approach
ed by man he had known for several
years and who was once prosperous
business man, but who had succumbed
to raging appetite for drink and was al
most total wreck.
'Lemme dollar2' asked the wreck.
Il haven't dollar to loan.'
well, then, lemme half a dollar
The benevolent gentleman impulsive-
ly drew half dollar from his pocket
and transferred it to the hand of the
wreck, who Immediately proceeded to
the nearest saloon and invested it.
Presently gentleman in an adjoin-
ing office called on the benevolent gen.
tleman and found him looking much
disheartened. He told the story of the
recent loan, and added sadly that he
couldn't understand why he had been
so foolish as to give the wreck the means
to add fuel to the fire that was consum-
ing all his manhood and decency. He
looked gloomy and detected until late
in the afternoon, when he stepped into
the adjoining office with his face wreath
ed in smile.
I've solved the mystery, he said.
'What mystery?' asked his friend.
'Why, how I happened to give that
fellow half a dollar. You see when
he asked me for dollar / knew at once
that I'd never see it again if gave it
to him but when he asked me for half
a dollar Immediately thought of
Franklin's remark: "a dollar saved is
two dollars earned, and, therefore, I'm
just dollar ahead, because saved half
a dollar by not loaning him dolla. at
first. See?
Yesterday the benevolent gentleman
entered his friends office with shade
of sadness mantling his features.
'I've lost that mans friendship he
said as soon as he had seated himself.
'What man ?
'Why my friend who borrowed half
dollar from me the other day. l met
him on the street just now and he refus-
ed to speak to me. He has been think
ing of Franklin's motto and is mad be-
cause | made dollar out of him.

Canary Birds Show Gratitude.

The canary bird has little romance
in its history, which has a poetic as
well as pathetic element in it. 1t is
generally understood that the original
stock of canaries were imported from
the Canary Islands in the fourteenth
century. 1t is not generally known,
however, the ship which brought the
first consignment of these birds to Eu-
rope was wrecked in storm on the
passage, says the ST. Louis Glo6e Dem
0erat. The wreck took place on the
coast of Italy. The sailors battled val
iantly against the wind and wave, but
all in vain.
Just as the ship was about to go down
one of the seamen chanced to think of
the imprisoned canaries and rushed to
their cages, which he carried up to the
deck. A few quick heavy blows shat
tered the lock of each cage. Then
their prison doors were thrown open
and they were set at liberty. AS they
flew from the ship the vessel settled
slowly ia GlS4watCI anu sank.@@ It is
also said that the sailor who rescued the
birds from a watery doom sprang over
board as the ship went down and caught
on floating spar.
There he remained through the rest
of the day at the mercy of the elements.
The happy birds recognized their de-
liver, flew down and circled around
endeavoring to cheer him with their
sweetest songs during his long but una
vailable battle against fate. About sun
set he was swept from his perch on the
spar and sunk. AS their rescuer went
down the birds sang their most mourn
ful notes and then flew towards the
land, settling on the Island of Elba.
The inhabitants were charmed with
the gay plumage and sweet song of
their feathered visitors and the fame of
the birds soon travelled throughout Eu-
rope. The birds themselves soon fol-
lowed. An Italian navigator, recogniz-
ing the birds as inhabitants of the Ca
nary Islands, and realizing the CONNER
cial value which they had now acquired,
brought large number of them to Eu-
rope, and since that time they have
been among the most common and most
cherished of all mans feathered favor
ties.

A Romance i'm the Rough.

Listen, partners, to the story
That I haven't told before;
pne with more of gush than glory,
And without drop of gore.
Partners, since left camp quarters
There's change come over me,
Till shadder one mans daughter,
Quite as sailors do the sea.
Till see in eyes that glisten,
All tar sees in the wave,
When he sort o. thinks its his'n,
And the notion makes him brave.
I'm in love-I, gruff old feller!-
With girl as good as gold;
One with cheeks as red and meller
As a peach too ripe to hold.
She has hair the hue of nuggets
That we've washed from mountain streams
And her waste-Td like to hug it,
AS l sometimes do in dreams.
On each little hand o dimple
Marks each knuckle, as smile
Sometimes marks the sweet and simple
4 Cheeks of girls not spoiled by style.
And her voice-it seldom utters
Sounds YOU wouldnt like to haa-
Way out thar where Gulch creek sputters
And where women don't appear.
"Hush p you say: eve thought you'd married,
And you claimed you'd picked pearl"
Right, my pards! but that love carried
This love--to my baby girl.

TIPS From the Finger Nails.

He who keeps his nails we'll rounded
at the tips is proud man.
Nails which remain long after being
cut level with the finger end are sign
of generosity.
The owner of very round and smooth
nails is of peaceable and conciliatory
disposition.
He who keeps his nails somewhat long,
round and tipped with black, is a ro-
mantle poet.
He vino has white spots on his nails
is fond of the society of ladies, but is
tickle in his attachments.
If you come across man with long
and pointed nails, you may take it that
he is eithar player of a guitar, tailor
or an attorney.
Transparent nails with light red, mark
a cheerful, gentle and amiable disposi-
ton. Lovers with transparent nails
usually carry their passion to the verge
of madness.
He who has the nail of his right
thumb slightly notched is regular glut-
ton, even nibbling at himself, as, when
having nothing eatable at hand, he falls
to biting his own finger nails.
He who keeps his nails irregularly
cut is hasty and determined. Men who
have not the patience to cut their nails
properly generally come to grief most
of them commit suicide or get married.

na-Col. R. T. Van Horn, in his ad-
dress at the annual Convention of Ma
tional Printers Protective Fraternity,
said: 'If the manuscripts of speeches,
sermons, law, arguments, scientific or
professional, were printed as they come
to the printers hands, seven in ten of
great regulations would be wrecked, the
educators of the land, the very teachers
of the grammar schools, not excepted.
There is something in the process ofthe
handling of types, of reading copy, of
of correcting proofs, that begets an
aptitude that no other instruction can
give. The mind is so trained that it
detects errors in style, expression, and
rhythm in composition, as the trained
ear discovers discords in music. The
printer is, after all, the real protector of
literary reputation

Aside wholly from the effect of his pub
lie services i'm behalf of liberty, what a
wonderful change the forty years have
witnessed since Henry Ward Beecher
came to Brooklyn He entered the pulpit
of the Plymouth Church in 1s47 at sal
airy of 81, 500. In 1919 the church voted
him 100000. In 1s41 he wrote articles
for his little Cincinnati paper which were
read and thrown aside. In 1887 il Is es-
timated that his works now published in
book and pamphlet form would fill more
than 100 large volumes Forty years ago
his private expenses and charities We're
limited to dollars; to-day they mount
into the thousands and tens of thousands
In those days the Plymouth Society of
Brooklyn numbered twenty members in
these days the roll approaches 5000. All
these changes have been wrought by the
magic of a quick brain, an impulsive
heart, a ready pen and bold tongue.
